Michelle Brooke // Let the Light In
Blending a Detroit born history in soul and a love of southern roots, Michelle Brooke is dynamic and powerhouse performer, vocalist and songwriter. Currently based in Tennessee, she’s been writing for her debut EP, recorded at Nashville’s beloved Sputnik Sound with Grammy award winning producer Mitch Dane.
Michelle attributes an engaging and captivating performance ability to her younger years spent studying music theatre and belting out Broadway tunes in school plays, summer camps, and her parents’ basement. She began writing poetry and songs as a teenager, as she explored the booming pop/punk music scene in Michigan.
Michelle moved to Nashville in fall of 2016 after studying vocal performance in New York City. She can be seen in multiple local bands, touring and collaborating with highly revered songwriters and artists, and has been featured on some of Nashville’s most prestigious stages, such as the Cannery Ballroom and The Ryman.
